Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Jens Bogren, the thirteenth studio album from the Finnish metal veterans is a monumentally orchestrated, highly triumphant affair. The record marks the return of original bassist Olli-Pekka Laine and heavily utilizes sweeping symphonic choirs, orchestral strings, and flutes alongside their signature melodic death metal riffing. The ambitious project was universally heralded as one of the most creatively revitalized and majestic releases of their modern era.
